the slump
of fallen wires
after the storm
I carry the moon
on my back

Bio Sketch
Mary Davila and her husband, Frank, live in Buffalo, NY. She relies on her faith for everything, including writing. Mary began to explore haiku and haiga in 2006. Her work has been published in numerous online journals and in print. In 2014, tanka became her main focus. Her website is www.petalsinthelight.com
Mary’s tanka effectively builds, line by line, to a visually riveting and emotionally powerful ending that has the most weight and reveals the theme of restoring [the balance of] nature in a naturally changing world.
